I'm very active on Facebook - you can friend me at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/rachelsstudiodotcom">www.facebook.com/rachelsstudiodotcom</a> and also as rachelsstudiodotcom on Instagram. My travel blog is <a href="http://travel4zen.blogspot.com/">travel4zen.blogspot.com</a>, and travel4zen on instagram. I have lots of other accounts on twitter and pinterest, so if you search for me you'll find me! And of course there's <a href="http://learnwatercolor.blogspot.com/">learnwatercolor.blogspot.com</a> and my youtube channels <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/travel4zen/videos">www.youtube.com/user/travel4zen/videos</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/rachelsstudiodotcom/videos">www.youtube.com/user/rachelsstudiodotcom/videos</a><br />

Below is a painting I've been toying with over the years, and I think it's finally ready to see the light of day. I like to play with blurred images of people in motion, and I think there is something poetic about this scene - a living human, himself ephemeral, observing taxidermy Gemsboks in New York City's Museum of Natural History. There's all sorts of symbolism in this image, which I will allow the viewer to ascribe themselves.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">And for the nitty gritty for those of you interested...It's been a crazy week - my summer is officially over and I have started back at my 9-5 job as a school social worker. Last week's focus was getting food out to needy families and finding resources for school supplies. Next week will be back-to-school meetings, more meetings, and more meetings. </span><br />

With my art, I've been trying to post more on my Instagram account, which is rachelsstudiodotcom. I'd love to see you on there! I also have a goal of painting for a competition, so I need to figure out a good subject and decide which competition I'll enter. I'm COMPLETELY overwhelmed with commissions, which is a good thing. I've been sharing progress on Facebook, so friend or follow me there if you're curious.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
I have some fun things coming up too. In December, I'm attending Art Basel in Miami, something I've wanted to do for a long time. If anyone has Miami/Art Basel tips, please do share! I post my travel pics on Instagram at travel4zen, so I'd love to see you there too.</div>

I'm having so much fun with these dollar auctions - and some are busts and some have been great, but I think what I like best is the behind-the-scenes interactions I have with art lovers all over the world. So feel free to email me or say hi online : )</div>

I've never been to Arles; this picture was taken from google street view (which I can spend hours on). I got the idea from participating in the Virtual Paintout blog forever ago. Van Gogh was a big fan of this town, btw : ) As usual with my originals, before I post them publicly, I offer them to the highest acceptable bid in the next 48 hours. If I don't get one, I'll post it on Etsy. Prints are also available in any size. Email me with your highest bid if you're interested in this painting!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px;">The Amphitheatre is the 20th largest Roman amphitheater in the world. Converted into a fortress to resist the invaders during the Middle Ages, soon a village was built inside until the authorities finally decided to destroy the houses and restore the building as it was during the Roman time.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Guardian-EgypTT-Text, Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 25px; text-align: left;">Van Gogh spent a year and a half in Arles and completed many paintings under the bright light of the Provence sun. He rented the Yellow House and spent a lot of time there with his friend Paul Gauguin. There, he painted Sunflowers and "Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear" after he got in a violent fight with Gauguin. </span></div>

Doesn't this guy make you laugh? I used to have a cross-eyed Siamese so I have a soft spot for them. And lately, with all the challenges in my life, I need some levity. My Smoky would one up this guy though - he would have his eyes crossed AND his tongue hanging out. Hilarious.<br />

I am back working in the schools as a social worker - my summer is officially over. So now I'll be burning the midnight oil to get my painting done. Also, my dad just had surgery AND my water heater blew a gasket and flooded my kitchen floor. So my house is completely torn up. And yet, I paint. It's been a crazy July! So much so that I took a little trip to the North Caroline mountains. Visit my <a href="http://travel4zen.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">travel4zen </a>blog to see some pics!<br />

I work as a school social worker, so I have the summers off. While I LOVE my "real" job, it's so wonderful to have a change of pace and completely focus on my art, family, and fun! Today, I'm working on two commissions, a cat painting for a special project, editing my videos for my "Learn Watercolor" blog, planning for a trip to Hot Springs, Virginia, and playing chase with my cat.<br />

Here's one of my upcoming adventures; I'm going to the "Jefferson Pools" in Hot Springs, Virginia. Thomas J himself took the waters here, and I will too, soon! It looks much the same as it did in his day, and although it's not fancy, it's a fun way to experience some history.

<br />
Part of the fun of painting is the opportunity to get a glimpse into other people's lives, and have a share in it, even if for a short while. My relationship with the future owner of this painting, Doug, began several years ago when he contacted me to do the first painting of his winning horse, Sassy. Not normally a gambling man, Doug was desperate; his daughter was ill and he faced mounting medical bills that he had no way of paying. After much research, he took his last bit of savings and bet it all on the chestnut you see in the painting above. She won and Doug was able to pay his daughter's medical bills. Sassy was their hero. <br />
<br />
A couple years later I received a surprise email from Doug again. He shared that he had found out that Sassy was up for auction, and not the good kind either. After a bit of a bidding war, he bought Sassy and saved her from certain death. Now they were mutual heroes! I love to tell this story and I love to be a part of it, even if in a small way, by commemorating Sassy and her amazing story through my art. I hope you enjoy the painting!RachelParkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13886585229493675435noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29624314.post-36003512666313865622013-03-15T13:09:00.000-07:002013-03-15T13:09:49.636-07:00New Applehead Siamese Cat Art - "Applehead in Repose" Watercolor PaintingThis is a new painting I did of a picture I fell in love with on Facebook.

I recently went to an event in Charlotte, NC called a keuring. Judges come all the way from Europe to judge the horses. They decide whether or not the horses get listed in the official Friesian registry, and it's a big deal. To judge the younger horses, they let them loose in the arena and they frolic about - it's a great photo op! This boy was showing his stuff - blissfully ignorant of the importance of the moment. Isn't he gorgeous?
